Model Sites

ACCC, along with its project partner APOS, identified three ACCC member programs that are serving as model sites for the “Psychosocial Distress Screening” project. Selected from a nationwide pool of 40 pre-identified sites, these model distress screening programs participated in a site visit and interviews to glean information on their approach to implementation of a distress screening program. Findings and information gathered resulted in a white paper on distress screening and shared resources/tools. The three model sites are:

• Good Samaritan Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital Cancer Center, Kearney, Nebr.
• Stamford Hospital, Carl & Dorothy Bennett Cancer Center, Stamford, Conn.
• UT Southwestern Medical Center, Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, Dallas, Tex.
